Soon a child came up in the middle of the lake, and this child held a handful of aquatic plants in his hand, and when he came ashore, he did not hurry to put on his coat, but made a fire and roasted the aquatic plants on the fire.

The old man Zhuoga said to the child, "Gar, come and meet the guest. ”

Gar glanced at the Central Plains monk, then withdrew his gaze and continued to burn the aquatic plants he had fished up.

"Gar is only five years old, and he will be like a fish in the holy lake, and he will surely be a wise man in the future." Zhuoga smiled.

Xuanzang was also observing this child, "Not afraid of the cold, not afraid of deep water, he will definitely be famous in the future." ”

Monk Xuanzang also said his own thing.

Zhuo Ga introduced: "He is Lu Dongzan's child, when I came back from Datang, Daxiang and Zampu were going to Datang, so they handed over this child to me to raise, and when he was ten years old, he would be handed over to Lu Dongzan." ”

Monk Xuanzang said again: "With a wise person like you to raise, this child will also be a powerful figure in the future." ”

"Wisdom...... old man Zhuo Ga looked up at the sky, "In Tibet, this day is so low, I have climbed the highest snow-capped mountain, I want to listen to the sound of the sky, I want to accept the wisdom given by God, but the God ignored me, sat on the snow-capped mountain for a day and a night, and could only go down the mountain." ”

Xuanzang closed his eyes and breathed in the cold air here, "But you are still the wisest person in Tubo." ”

"I used to think so, but now I don't think so, there is a wise person in the Central Plains, who can solve the puzzles that we can't solve, and the question of life and death has not been solved yet."

Although Xuanzang said that he was in Tianzhu, he often heard about the Central Plains, there was a person named Zhang Yang in the Central Plains, this person was as wise as a demon, and even the current Tian Khan relied on him very much, this person let Tuguhun die, let the father and son of King Gaochang be smothered to death, and let the Western Turkic population almost wither.

Buddhism is declining in the Central Plains, and Xuanzang feels that he wants to return to the Central Plains earlier.

The old man Zhuo Ga handed over a bowl of tea, "This is the roasted tea that the Central Plains people like now, you can drink it too." ”

Xuanzang solemnly took the bowl and drank a sip of tea with a long aftertaste, "Bitter." ”

The old man Zhuo Ga nodded and said: "The days have been stored for a long time, and I originally wanted to ask for some new tea from Zampu, but he went to Guanzhong." ”

Xuanzang's monk's robe was hunting, and he asked, "Will Zampu come back when he goes to Guanzhong?" ”

Zhuo Ga said with a smile: "No one knows if Zampu can come back after this trip, a lot of changes have taken place in Tubo in the past two years." ”

Looking at Xuanzang in front of him again, the old man Zhuo Ga sat down and pinched a handful of tsampa and threw it into the lake to feed the fish, "Xuanzang, you too, you have changed a lot." ”

"The poor monk went to Tianzhu and got the scriptures, and after he returned, he wanted to promote the Dharma and compile the scriptures."

Zhuo Ga couldn't help but nod, "You have walked so much, there should be changes, well, you have changed a lot, and your heart is calmer than before." ”

Leaving from the lake with Tang Xuanzang and walking to a high slope, the old man Zhuo Ga pointed to a Tibetan tribe in the distance, "You have changed, Tubo has also changed, the Western Regions have also changed, and there are many Tang people in Tubo now." ”

"The poor monk understood that when the poor monk was in Tianzhu, the king of Tianzhu learned the news and asked the poor monk to go back with the scriptures."

Old Man Zhuoga's expression was calm, "He will let you go back because he is afraid of the Heavenly Khan." ”

Xuanzang replied: "Wrong, this is mercy, in order to avoid war and save the lives of thousands of people, the poor monk will be allowed to leave." ”

The old man Zhuo Ga does not like Buddhism, he is a native of Tibet, and believes in the snow-capped mountains and the heavens, "Xuanzang, you always think of yourself and others very noblely, you can give your food to the wolves, you can save a fish that is dying of thirst, because you think you are noble." ”

Standing on this high slope, I feel that the sky is closer, as if I can reach it with my hand, but when I stretch out my hand, I can't touch anything.

The old man Zhuo Ga's gaze looked into the distance, "The Tianzhu monk who was in Guanzhong has passed away. ”

Xuanzang's expression froze, although he tried his best to keep himself calm, and there was a little more pain in his eyes.

This pain only lasts for a while and then disappears.

The old man Zhuo Ga smiled: "I remember you said that it was the Tianzhu monk who told you that there are more scriptures in Tianzhu, which can fill the gaps and gaps in the Central Plains Buddhism, where are your scriptures?" ”

Xuanzang pointed to the bottom of the mountain, where there was a yak carrying a lot of goods.

Old Man Zhuo Ga smiled with relief, "It seems that Bopo is also a very wise person, he has given you nobility and compassion, but he has no humanity, we are only mortal after all, and we should not be beyond mortals." ”

Monk Xuanzang recited the Buddha name again.

The old man Zhuo Ga's eyes were a little more lost, "And you want to transcend mortals, this is not right." ”

Xuanzang didn't answer him, but said lightly: "The poor monk plans to recite scriptures in the Potala Palace, in order to see the Buddha's Bopo. ”

"I have always opposed Buddhism entering Tibet, but this is what Tubo Zampu did, and I can't stop it, so be it."

Xuanzang asked before leaving, "You are the last person in your lineage." ”

Old man Zhuo Ga took the hand of the five-year-old child and replied with a smile: "Even if I am the only one left in this vein, I will not invest in your Buddhism." ”

Garchizheng Tsandro shouted, "Monk! Let's go back. ”

Monk Xuanzang looked at the child deeply and saluted again.

The old man Zhuo Ga smiled: "I advocate wisdom, I like to be friends with wise people, I don't like to be friends with noble people like you." ”

"When a poor monk enters the Buddha Gate, he will no longer have such feelings."

The old man Zhuo Ga said: "So you have been trying to erase your innate humanity, I hate such friends, you have no wisdom, you just pretend to be noble." ”

The conversation was very unpleasant, and the monk Xuanzang waved his sleeves and left.

The old man Zhuoga shouted loudly: "Once you go to the Potala Palace, your words and deeds will be stared at." ”

Xuanzang didn't pay any more attention to the old man's words.

Zhang Yang read the content of the letter, Xuanzang came back from Tianzhu and had arrived at the border of Tubo, and the location described in the letter should be near Namco in Tubo.

Songtsen Gampo said in a low voice: "When the Foreign Affairs Yuan ordered, Tubo also sent people to Tianzhu, and the king of Tianzhu drove Xuanzang out, and now he should recite the scriptures for the dead Tianzhu monk in the Potala Palace." ”

Zhang Yang put down the letter, he was not interested in this matter, he was just a monk with the important task of revitalizing Buddhism.

In a short time, wine and meat were served.

Songtsen Gampo took a sip of wine, "Zhang Yang, you are the opponent of Tubo, and you have always been." ”

Zhang Yang bowed his head and said: "Lu Dongzan's son, I didn't expect to be five years old. ”

Songtsen Gampo nodded, "Lu Dongzan is now in charge of Tibetan affairs, and he has handed over his son to the wisest people in Tibet to raise, and he will become a heroic Tibetan warrior." ”

It seems that they all value this child.

And Zhang Yang wanted to strangle the child to death while he was still growing up.

Because he did become a very powerful person in history, of course, this is the worst scenario.

Zhang Yang didn't drink, but took out the water cup he hung on his waist and drank a sip of warm tea, "In line with the principle of friendly coexistence between Tubo and Datang, whether it is the children of Zampu or the children of Lu Dongzan, the second generation of you Tubo may be able to work for Datang." ”

Songtsen Gampo said with a smile: "If Datang has always been strong, then it must be so. ”

Whether Tubo has always surrendered to the Tang Dynasty depends on whether the Tang Dynasty has always been strong.

The law of the jungle has never changed, and history has been repeated again and again, which makes people very tired.

Songtsen Gampo drank wine, ate a plate of pork ear meat, and left.

When Xuanzang went to Tianzhu, the road was very far away, at that time the Western Regions had not yet been pacified, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty were about to start a war, he wanted to pass from Tuguhun to Tubo, and then go to the Western Regions, and then go south to Tianzhu after the Western Regions.

And the road back to the Central Plains from Tianzhu is much smoother.

At this time, Tubo had been pacified, Songtsen Gampo was in Guanzhong, Tubo had surrendered, and there were many officials of the Foreign Affairs Yuan in Tubo.

And he left the Tang Dynasty and went to Tianzhu for nearly 50,000 miles, and when he came back from Tianzhu, he could cross the mountains of Tubo and go straight to the territory of Tubo.

In the case that Tubo has surrendered, Xuanzang can travel 30,000 miles less, and when he enters the Western Regions, he is the boundary of the Tang Dynasty, and he can go home after entering Tubo.

Xuanzang left Datang, Datang is also developing and expanding, the four towns of Anxi have long belonged to Datang, and Xuanzang's road home is much smoother.

Li Tai followed his brother-in-law out of the grass shed, "That Xuanzang prides himself on being noble, abandoning human nature, what is the fun of living this kind." ”

Zhang Yang walked with his hands in his hands, "When he wants to make more people "noble" and become people like him, he feels that his life is very interesting. ”

"It's too twisted." Li Tai held his forehead in pain, "If everyone has become like this, is it still human?" Can this world still live? Everyone is doing the same thing, and they really want to kill this Xuanzang monk halfway. ”

Xuanzang's ideal is beautiful, he wants Buddhism to flourish, this is his ideal.

If this is the case, it will be a disaster, the talent of poetry and literature will be stifled by the Buddhist scriptures, people's ideals will disappear, and the family and country will lose the motivation to rise.

This kind of nobility that puts one's own virtue above human nature is indeed terrifying.

Xuanzang is a very terrible person, and finally came to such a conclusion.

Zhang Yang held his hands and stopped, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei is right, he should indeed kill this monk in the middle of the road." ”

Li Tai hesitated, "It's not right to kill people for no reason." ”

Zhang Yang nodded slightly, "We have to think about it in the long run." ”

Li Tai also looked at the letter brought by Songtsen Gampo, "This Tubo people are really well educated, they can all write Chinese characters." ”

"It was written by an acquaintance in Tibet, it will take time to educate Tibet, and the Tang Dynasty still needs to educate the Turks, so far it cannot be said that there is no progress, it can only be said that the progress is slow."

Zhang Yang took Li Tai, who also had a sad face, to Lishan, where his younger brothers and sisters were in class.

Sitting on the edge of the Huaqing Pool, Zhang Yang began to write the recital, and Li Tai also sat down to help his brother-in-law sort out the recital and polish the ink.

Wrote an educational strategy, to let all Turkic people learn Guanzhong, writing Guan Chinese characters is obviously unrealistic, the most cost-effective and efficient way is to start with the baby, starting with the Turkic children.

Children under the age of fifteen must begin to learn Guan Chinese and Guanzhong dialect, and in the future, Tang merchants and Turks will use Guan Chinese characters and speak Guanzhong dialect.

Let them know that only by learning Guanzhong dialect can they smoothly get benefits from Guanzhong and survive better.

Li Tai opened a piece of music, and after reading it, he whispered: "Brother-in-law, Donggong has come to ask for money again." ”

Zhang Yang put down his piece and set it aside.

Placing the chapter in front of his brother-in-law, Li Tai's fat face was written as a matter of course, "This king has long said that sooner or later, the prince will lose all his family funds when he rebuilds Chongdefang, build the Wei Mansion, the county government, and the Literature Museum, and he hasn't even thought about a wine shop." ”

Li Tai, the prince's joke, likes it very much, and I have to say that he is not afraid of the rich second generation of losers, but he is afraid of the rich second generation starting a business.

Li Chengqian is the richest second generation in the Tang Dynasty.

Originally, the court was nervous, but now the palace finally has some surplus money, which is about to be squandered by the prince, and he owes a bunch of debts.

Many artisans did not pay the money.

also arranged for a small guy to serve tea and deliver water, where can I get the money from those guys?

Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince failed to start a business, and there should be no debtors to Chengtianmen to shout grievances, this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a kind person, and he wrote a chapter to ask for help from Shangshu Province Zhilang, and he was sent to Lishan.

Earlier, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spent a lot of effort in order to set up an official school, and he always hoped that Datang could have more talents and make the imperial examination more prosperous.

The starting point is good, and the heart is also good, but this prince is too simple and honest.

Li Tai whispered: "Brother-in-law, why don't you let the prince rebuild Chongde Fang into a few more wine shops and inns?" ”

As long as you can open a wine shop and a post house in Chang'an City, with the current density and prosperity of Chang'an City, you will basically not lose money.

Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "Wouldn't it cost to renovate again, in fact, it is simple to solve this problem, and it is not difficult at all." ”

The main reason is that in the past two years, my brother-in-law has rarely shown himself in front of people, rarely made a move, and he has almost forgotten this sense of existence.

Zhang Yang patiently explained while writing, "His Royal Highness King Wei, in fact, the vast majority of people in the Tang Dynasty have no money, but the literati group can have money, they can also have no money, and those who have money can become literati in order to achieve their goals." ”

"Transformed?" Li Tai fantasized about what it would be like.

"If you want to talk about literati, literati all have worship figures, such as Fang Xiang, Zheng Gong, Zhao Guogong, Kong Yingda Old Master, Yu Shinan Old Mr., as long as these people go to Chongde Fang every day to sit or write one or two words, even if they don't do anything, they can attract many literati to go."

Li Tai's expression is like a ball out of breath, and in the future, anyone who has a piece of music sent by the East Palace will be intercepted!

The fat man's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he was so angry that he held the pen in a fist with one hand, and his thumb was trembling against the tip of the pen.

Zhang Yang said again: "That's not enough, you have to arrange some tea and snacks money, and prepare a few officials from the central government to go to Chongdefang to explain the current government measures, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort!" ”

Hearing this, he only heard a crisp sound, and Li Tai realized that the pen in his hand was broken.

"Huh? My pen ......"

"I'll pay for it!" Li Tai gritted his teeth.
